They can’t even give those FineWoven cases away…lol
I think they would struggle to pay people to take them. I'm really surprised they got through Apples testing... unless they just thought people would accept this.
Ive noticed this on a few of their accessories too... the white plastics scratch up like crazy (see AirPods charge cases etc).
There are much better plastic finishes they could use.
The best prices on Apple stuff, with the exception of their refurbished store... is almost always from other retailers.
Apple probably wants to try to preserve its image by avoiding too much "manufacturer discounting" which can cheapen a brand. They leave that to the retailers where discounts are more common/expected in general.
Apple have never discounted products in store... they give away vouchers and have student pricing... but nothing more.
Over the years they have but it's rare. For example, the original iPhone was discounted $200 less than three months after launch. Apple also routinely lowers retail prices of previous generation models which could be considered a discount but, again, traditional sales and discounts are still rare. Gift cards and/or limited time trade-in bonuses is the approach Apple typically takes for "shopping events" like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
I don't think certain discounts 'cheapen' a brand. I think a decent thing they could do is temporally lower a devices price when an update is imminent. Although the device is fine, when a consumer buys a device at full price and the update is available the next day... that can hit customer loyalty more than cheapening the brand.
Other companies have discounts.. and Ive never thought that would cheapen their brand.
But I think butterfly keyboards and the like certainly 'damage' the brand, absolutely.
Too much discounting can often be viewed as "cheapening" a consumer goods brand especially when that brand is considered premium, luxury, upscale, etc.
